> [@Nagflar\_dv](#): > > Devs don’t convert the resource you’ve spent, they convert the results you made. But they are converting them. They’re looking at what you obtained, whether you kept it in the wallet or dropped it into a kingdom, and converting it. It’s just if it’s in one place they convert it at a different exchange rate. For absolutely no reason, other than to punish players for dodging the population rules, which don’t even exist when the players decide where to put their resources. ---

I believe the ones who don’t bother to read any of this won’t bother of conversion rates. We all have guilds, we have people who just translate and transit info into guild and others. So the ones who cares can get an info and make decision what to do, the ones who doesn’t care just wouldn’t suffer cause they don’t care. We have a players in guild or in community that don’t want to read all the stuff and they’re okay with the advice or orders the GM’s or other pals gave to them.

Aside from the players who aren’t in guilds (that’s their choice, they’re missing out on stuff, but they still shouldn’t be punished extra for it), many guilds don’t have anyone doing that. In most guilds I’ve been in, that wasn’t a thing. It happens in the top guilds, sure, but you can’t assume every guild has it. In my last guild, I was one of two people who did it, and then the other one left and it was just me. When I moved to my current guild, they didn’t have anyone doing it, so I started doing it. > [@Nagflar\_dv](#): > > they’re not the players you’re fighting here for I’m “fighting” for every player. Every player should be treated fairly. Every player should have their resources converted fairly, no matter what. And honestly, it’s weird you’re fighting so hard for some players to be treated worse than others, for absolutely no reason. But also, even players who read every scrap of info on this site might have spent dozens of books in the past week or so, before this announcement came out. And they’re worse off for that, because they aren’t psychic, didn’t foresee this magically. That’s just wrong. > [@Nagflar\_dv](#): > > and i’m sure that if you don’t know the rules and don’t bother about it - it’s your fault, not rules.

You’re expressing an opinion I disagree with, but there’s nothing wrong with that. I just don’t get why you think it’s OK for some players to be treated worse than others. But that’s your view, and that’s fine. And I’ve said why I disagree. But yeah, we’ve been talking for ages. Maybe leave it at that? We don’t agree, but it’s just down to seeing things differently. ---

regarding Kingdom Tasks, will we gain progression xp rewards when the 9.2 update is applied? for example under track 1, if I currently already have X troops at level 20 before 9.2 lands, will I be gaining 300xp \* however many Track 1 tasks I’ve already fulfilled before playing 9.2? ---

> [@kofplayer](#): > > regarding Kingdom Tasks > [@Jeto](#): > > You will be placed in the new Kingdom task track somewhere relative to where you were in the Kingdom Power progression track answered above.. So, once you update, you will be placed into the new Kingdom task tracks. If you already meet the requirements for that task, you can then collect it. And just in case it isn’t clear, you will not get retroactive XP for past 9.2 Kingdom tasks already completed, as they have already been applied to your account and progress for 9.1. ---

> [@](#): > > And just in case it isn’t clear, you will not get retroactive XP for past 9.2 Kingdom tasks already completed, as they have already been applied to your account and progress for 9.1. this is the part I was clarifying. so to be extra precise, if let’s say in 9.1 I have a kingdom maxed, which only requires 39 fully trait-ed troops to reach, but I have actually more than 39 trait-ed (say, 40). Under the 9.2 system, my kingdom task for that track will only start from the one after 39 trait-ed troops? ie. the first task I will face in = 39 troops at level 20? And not any “further” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/b/9b47a7e33ab9cb1d54e5b3884185849a709eb276.png) but what about track 2? under 9.1 system, you need to fully upgrade 14 weapons, but only require to collect 5 kingdom pets and have 4 of them at level 20. whereas the new system: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/5/8546e3b5e7241e7e775548fcb6642e2c7b6bd01c.png) where will I start in 9.2? Upgrade 5 kingdom pets to 20? track 3’s even messier, but I suppose I can infer the result based on the response for track 1 & 2’s answer ---

## Why?! Why are changing something that absolutely no-one wanted you to change, instead of working on all the things that players who know the game well have been clamouring for, for years?! I just don’t understand why you care so little for your players and the continuation of your game!!! Off the top of my head, the only good change you’ve made in the last two years is the Astral Spire. Everything else either made things worse or needs significant work to get it working properly. 😭 😭 😭 ---

so i have two questions one is a little off topic. Firstly is the any future plans to add more crystara kingdoms and the off topic question is after the next set of dragon eggs (i presume there will be to cover dragons in the remaining kingdoms that are still without a dwagon) will there be more dragon eggs?? ---

As i read - you’ll get XP for a tasks you’ve allready complete - so the next 2 tasks with 40 troops maxed and traited would be automatically completed, and 600 xp gained. And if you meet requirements for other 2 level of tasks (on any of 3 tracks) you’ll have a green arrow near your kingdom and get a automatic Prestige upgrade if your GP is enough ---

> I assume they checked this. My guess would be as long as the item fills the same role in the game and has an equal or greater value, it’s allowed. Crystals are replacing writs and deeds, so they will fill the same roles, and it looks like the new rewards are higher value. So, probably allowed. No, they are not comparable — not even close. Two books were worth 3200 XP, and they replaced them with just one Rainbow Crystal, which is only worth 600 XP. ---
